Also there's fried okra.

Place the okra in a colander to thaw, once it's thawed run it under hot water to get the slime out of it. Then drain it well and toss it with a little Atkins bake mix and drop it by handfuls into 350Â° oil and fry it until it's brown and crisp. Drain it on paper towels, salt it and eat.
